Aramoho will be the third Whanganui suburb to get a self-service library, and a date has been set for the opening celebration.
The new Aramoho library is a partnership with Pasifika Vision Forum Trust, which runs the Born & Raised Pasifika early learning centre on the site where the library will be based.
The library will launch on Friday, June 11 at 2 Mitchell St, Aramoho, which is the site of the former Aramoho School.
District library manager, Pete Gray, and Hellen Puhipuhi from the trust say everyone is welcome to attend.
Recently children from Born & Raised Pasifika dressed as their favourite book characters to celebrate the setting of the opening date, with a few photos in front of the new library to mark the occasion.
"Friday, 23 April is World Book Day," Pete Gray says, "so what better time to announce the opening date for a new community library.
"Hellen and her team are doing great work in the community and we are absolutely chuffed to be partnering with them to deliver this for Aramoho residents."
